Hells Bay 24 Build

Not very attractive compared to a lot of boats in it's class. Not sure I like the look of two center consoles, kind of bulky. What's up with that? And why would you put a cushion over the live well lid?

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can not debate that one. The cushions in the rear are removable. Without them in the picture my wife would have not agreed to this boat.

The sea chest main function is to supply clean non disturbed water to pumps for baitwell and wash downs. The pumps are standard bilge pumps that last allot longer that the bait well pumps running aerated water from thru hulls. The Estero comes standard with a sea chest. This one was manufactured by an outside source for them by Best Marine Products from 311 stainless steel then powder coated. They make their own also. Mine was changed out to this one under warranty. If you buy an Estero ask for this chest. This thing works so good. Bait well pump 1 brings the well to standard level and hit pump 2 and the well is pressurised in less than a minute for runs.

Don’t be too hard on Puckersdad. HB stood me and my wife up on a water demo at the Miami Boat Show so that is what sealed my decision to buy a Maverick. Seems like the factory sponsored boys were too busy sniffing on CA’s appearance to sell me a boat!

For the OP regardless of what HB did to me that looks like a nice boat.
